When you receive the BOOT_COMPLETED intent you should use the AlarmManager to setup an pending intent that will fire after 60 seconds.

use Timer() and TimerTask():

        Timer timer = new Timer();
        timer.schedule(new TimerTask() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                //run your service
            }
        }, 60000);
